Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 76 The beginning of the Battle of Poyang!
After Chu Shizhao went to the south.

Immediately, the clouds and fog parted and light appeared.

Wang Shouyi was not the first one to rise up in the southern uprising army. He fought his way up step by step.

At the beginning, he was a believer of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect and Zhang Zhengjun's thug.

And he's a pure thug.

He was born into a peasant family, without any other background. He was neither a wealthy nor a poor family, nor a powerful or noble family.

Why heroes tend to emerge in troubled times.

Because the situation in troubled times is very inward-looking, it is a natural place for leveling up. If you, an ordinary person, want to stand out, you have to overcome many difficulties one by one. If you go through them one by one, even if you have no talent, you can hone your abilities.

Anyone who wants to survive in such a desperate dead end must rely on his ability to fight his way out. If he fails to fight his way out, he will die. If he does, he will become famous. This is also an invisible way to exercise one's abilities.

But there is one thing that is even more terrifying.

That is, Wang Shouyi was not able to gain power every time. He was killed by Song Xun, and he was left to fend for himself. He even did not join the Five Pecks of Rice Sect.

In other words, the simulation and deduction of [The Emperor's Growth Plan] is completely random. Whatever event you encounter will greatly change your simulation process, resulting in a completely different effect.

Now it seems like a miracle that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to conquer the world with just a bowl. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang were given another chance, without any memory, it would probably be difficult for him to replicate it.

"The rebels are here to cultivate Gu. Whoever can break out will be the most capable person in the south. Wang Shouyi has broken out many times, proving that he is very versatile. Compared to others, he grows the most each time he breaks out of the encirclement."

"As soon as Zhang Zhengjun died, Wang Shouyi killed those disobedient rebel leaders. He immediately upgraded from a white card to a blue card. As he continued to fight in the south and the uprising, he transformed into a purple-edged card, and then gradually upgraded to a gold card."

To a certain extent, the general direction of Chu Shizhao's simulation this time is also a drastic change from the previous situation.

In this simulation, the royal family of the Great Zhou was completely wiped out.

Chu Shizhao had never expected that Ma Su'an would go completely crazy. What he had never expected was that his brother Chu Shixu would be so rotten.

In fact, there is no problem in sending Lu En and Yang Fang to quell the uprising in the south. With only 30,000 Central Government troops, this decision can at least maintain the dignity of the Great Zhou Dynasty as a unified dynasty.

However, you can't even defend Chang'an in a short period of time.

There were still nearly 50,000 Northern Army troops left in the court, with Li Jin and Wang Huai waiting on the side, and even Huan Jie of Liangzhou was still there.

In this situation, even if the three parties do not move their troops, as long as you can hold out for ten days, Ma Su'an will collapse without food replenishment.

Wang Huai had cut off Ma Su'an's food supply, so it was impossible for Li Jin to not send a single soldier to rescue Chang'an.

Even if you set up checks and balances and block each other's positions, you can still pull Ma Su'an to death. But his brother, with 50,000 Northern Army troops guarding Chang'an and fighting a defensive battle, simply couldn't win.

You can win by delaying.

But it couldn't even be delayed.

This situation could not be caused by anything other than the explosion of Ma Su'an's troops. The Northern Army either had not fought for a long time, or had too many empty-handed soldiers, or had outdated equipment.

The most terrifying thing is that Ma Suan is also an extremely perverted devilish flesh man.

Judging from this guy's performance from beginning to end, he is a pure muscle species.

Even though Chu Shizhao had realized through so many simulations and deductions that Ma Suan focused all his abilities on martial arts, he had not expected that Ma Suan could be so humanized.

When he entered Chang'an, he neither appeased the aristocratic families nor eased the political situation under the pretext of the emperor's order. Instead, Ma Su'an chose the one that Chu Shizhao least expected.

It was he who wiped out the entire Zhou royal family and Guanzhong nobles in one fell swoop.

What kind of personification could do such a thing!
You're not even a rebel, bro!
Some people even kill other people's entire families just to settle personal grudges!
Chu Shizhao didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment. He was still very sad when he thought about the death of several of his lovely brothers, especially the fact that several younger brothers who were very close to him were also involved. But when he thought about the death of Chu Shixu, he couldn't help laughing secretly. It was not because he became the natural heir to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but more because Chu Shixu and Emperor Yongjin were both people who were seriously alienated by power.

Maybe their nature is not like this, but after gaining power, their original personalities become very different. For example, Emperor Yongjin did not start to care about the life and death of his sons until his death. He began to realize that he should pave the way for his sons, because at this time, power is about to disappear, so human nature will more or less return.

For the sake of power, Chu Shizhao was suppressed by Emperor Yongjin and used as a tool, but Emperor Yongjin was still willing to give him benefits and sometimes even protect him.

However, it was different for Chu Shizhao's good brother Chu Shixu. Ever since Emperor Yongjin showed his attitude of getting close to Chu Shizhao, and Chu Shizhao and Chu Shixu did not have the same mother, the overt and covert struggle between the two sides began.

Chu Shixu died, but Lao Zhao was not sad at all.

Who would be sad about the death of someone who had always wanted to kill them?

Therefore, it is most difficult for Chu Shizhao to evaluate the killing of Ma Su'an.

Now Chu Shizhao used the old reputation of the Great Zhou royal family to directly absorb the political legacy of the "Great Zhou Dynasty" in Jiangling.

What is particularly abstract is that when the Great Zhou was in power, the people of the Great Zhou all cursed the Great Zhou for doing bad things.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was almost dead. Various warlords began to fight for territory, and wars continued. Civilians were constantly being pushed into the stalemate on the battlefield as cattle and horses. These farmers were turned into soldiers to die on the battlefield, and everyone began to miss the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chu Shizhao thinks that everyone is pretty bad.

There's no need to start missing the Zhou Dynasty just because it was a little bit worse.

People here have been bullied in the workplace for too long.

If there is a chance, Chu Shizhao still wants to bring happiness to the people.

[In August of the second year of Kaiyang, Chu Shizhao raised an army in Jiangling. Soon after, he captured Yuanling, Linyuan, Linxiang, and Nanchang, and the entire Jingzhou was occupied by Chu Shizhao.]

[In September of the second year of Kaiyang, Wang Shouyi realized that an army like Chu Shizhao had appeared in Jingzhou. Considering that the 'Eternal Life Army' was originally an army that revolted to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the current situation in the north was chaotic, it would be better to stabilize the south first rather than getting involved in the chaos in the Central Plains.]

[Song Xun in the rear does not occupy much territory, and is nominally a friendly army of the rebels. It is better to first subdue the royal family members who started the rebellion in Jingzhou, conquer the south, and then settle the situation. ]

[In October of the second year of Kaiyang, Chu Shizhao led his army to Poyang. Most of the Poyang defenders had no intention of defending and were willing to surrender directly to Chu Shizhao, the King of Jin, who was originally a member of the royal family.]

[In November of the second year of Kaiyang, Wang Shouyi gathered 100,000 insurgents and decided to fight Chu Shizhao in Poyang.]

[Wang Shouyi's fellow countryman Zhou Che was handsome and had the talent to assist the king, but he was not valued because of his humble background. After he joined Wang Shouyi, his status rose rapidly. It was also he who proposed the strategy of first pacifying the south and then the north.]

[At the same time, Zhou Che supported Wang Shouyi's approach. He and Wang Shouyi agreed that the person who posed the greatest threat in the south was the Jin Wang Chu Shizhao, who had lived in seclusion in the south for many years.]

[In response to this, Zhou Che first spread rumors to undermine Chu Shizhao's reputation. The main rumor was that Chu Shizhao had died in the "Burning Jin Case" that year, and the King of Jin who appeared now was a fake. ]

[But another strategist named Dong Fei thought that they must not use their troops in Kunyang, a small city that was both strong and not harmful to the overall situation. It would be more practical to capture Nanjing and have a stable base to manage well than to confront Chu Shizhao head-on.]

[The place occupied by Chu Shizhao is remote and not prosperous, even poorer than Suzhou Prefecture where they are located. With Yingtian Prefecture, the strength of the rebel army can be more prosperous. ]

[You sent so many troops to attack Poyang instead of Nanjing. Even if you win, Chu Shizhao can retreat to Jiangling.]

[After all the trouble, we finally got Poyang, but we couldn't completely destroy Chu Shizhao. It's really not worth it. It's better to take Nanjing first and have a truly stable rear.]

【Wang Shouyi never hesitates and only believes in what he does. He trusts Zhou Che's opinion and would never choose any other decision.】

[“How can a real man do such a coy thing!”]

[“Now I command an army of nearly one million people, and I am invincible in every battle. If I take Poyang, I can go to Jiangling. How can I not attack Poyang just because it is a small city? I can’t not annex Jingzhou just because it is not as important as Nanjing.”]

[“Since Chu Shizhao dares to come to Poyang to fight me, then I will defeat him. The whole army will march forward on their blood, singing and dancing. Isn’t this more satisfying!”]
